Sanders Quiet After Trump Win… Team Gives Shocking Reason

Following President-elect Donald Trump’s astounding electoral victory, prominent politicians and leaders from both sides of the aisle and from other nations have contacted Trump to congratulate him on his win.

One prominent exception was former Democrat presidential candidate — and recent surrogate for nominee Hillary Clinton — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who had not released any sort of official statement on the election results.

However, one of the socialist’s top advisers did inform a CNN reporter as to why there had been no statement or offer of congratulations from Sanders, according to The Hill.

Perhaps, after some time has passed, the anger and bitterness of Sanders and others on the left regarding their resounding defeat at the hands of the American voter will ease somewhat.

Politely contacting a former adversary with a conciliatory message goes a long way toward soothing hurt feelings and disappointment, and on this Sanders can actually look toward President Barack Obama and Donald Trump themselves for an example.

Obama and Trump had a cordial telephone conversation Wednesday morning, and Obama and Clinton have both given speeches urging Democrats, and all Americans, to make themselves helpful to the new president-elect.

Sanders, ill-treated by his own party during the primaries and now smarting from the Election Day debacle, apparently hasn’t gotten to that point yet.

Please share this on Facebook and Twitter to spread the word that Bernie Sanders has “nothing polite to say” about Donald Trump’s election.
